Caspar Grevinckhoven (1550-1606), b. at Dortmund, [[Germany|Germany]], a Reformed preacher at [[Zaltbommel (Gelderland, Netherlands)|Zaltbommel]], Dutch province of [[Gelderland (Netherlands)|Gelderland]], in 1573, after 1579 in Rotterdam, where he died. He wrote a violent polemic against the [[Anabaptism|Anabaptists]]: <em>Grondelijke bericht van den Doop ende Wederdoope</em> (1599), which contains some important information on [[Ries, Hans de (1553–1638)|Hans de Ries]]. The assertion that in his old age he became a Mennonite (as stated in <em>Doopsgezinde Bijdragen</em> 1908, 27) is an error.
